The authors of the remake of the cult RPG promise that players will truly be able to play any role.
As 2026 approaches, when a wave of major releases is expected, the Gothic remake remains on the list of the most anticipated games. At the Barcelona Game Fest, journalists spoke with developers from Alkimia Interactive about how the team is expanding the possibilities of choice for players.
Lead game designer Javier Untoria said:
"We want to give the player freedom of action. We are improving combat, magic, and ranged attacks. This is an open-world action RPG where you can go anywhere, talk to anyone, and every decision has meaning. We are moving towards offering the maximum variety of options."
According to Untoria, the choice will not be limited to obvious actions — even lines in dialogues affect the perception of the hero.
"When we create a situation with a choice, we think about how many ways to solve the problem we want to give. The player will always find their own. You can go through everything honestly, you can lie — we leave the player all the options."
Against the background of the growing demand for deep role-playing games with the influence of decisions, the direction chosen by Alkimia Interactive looks logical.
